You got a pifzer ? Then you can be eligible for lottery in Poland.

[janggernaut]

Well just this i've heard a country has running a lottery which we can participated if we already got vaccinated. Most of people aren't aware about vaccine, they just scared about the side-effect after get vaccinated. 35% already got vaccine is a great news, while on my country there are only less than 20% got vaccinated.

This can only be done by countries that still have sufficient budget, imagine poor countries that even to get vaccines for their citizens are unable to compete with rich countries.
However, whatever the government does should be appreciated because they are trying to get their citizens interested in getting vaccinated.

The best thing is to educate their people how important getting a vaccine is, not pampering and bribing them to get the vaccine, anyway they have the money for the price and they are not lacking in the vaccine, even in vaccine inoculation there is a big discrepancy between the rich and the poor, the rich are being gifted while the poor are lining up. 

[traderethereum]

I will not think about the cash prize but the vaccine will be important to our body, so I will want to get the vaccine.
If I can get the cash for the prize, that will be a bonus for me and if I do not get the money, that will be okay.
Hopefully, those people should care about their health and will go to the hospital and get vaccinated.
The government needs to be concerned about the Pfizer supply and needs to order that vaccine to fill the need for people to get vaccinated.

- Why the prize pool is only limited to Pfizer vaccine? So if someone got another vaccine like moderna or spotnick he won't be eligible for win ?

I wonder why only Pfizer is this lottery being sponsored by Pfizer or the only available vaccine is the one coming from Pfizer, this is not good they should treat every vaccine equal they spend money on them and people should not choose what to inject on them all these vaccines have undergone clinical studies so they are all safe until proven not to be.

[Saint-loup]

I think Poland isn't the only country who made such a plan to encourage people taking the vaccine.

Two notes :
- Why the prize pool is only limited to Pfizer vaccine? So if someone got another vaccine like moderna or spotnick he won't be eligible for win ?
- Isn't better for a poor country with only 35% of the population vaccinated to buy more vaccines and enforce the vaccination (many methods to do this) instead of calling the greed ?

No Poland isn't the first country to launch a lottery to encourage people to get vaccinated, we've already discussed about that here in other threads : many USA and Canada states and other countries have organized lotteries for vaccinated people with millions dollars of prizes.
Besides that I don't know where you are living but Poland is not a poor country at all, it's an european country and the twentieth richest country in the world.

[Zilon]

Wow what an enticing offer just to get vaccinated but it seems  Poland Citizens don't even seen interested. Just 35% of it's citizens have gotten the vaccine despite the attractive gambling offer given although not every one has interest in gambling but I feel this should be a mega jackpot for people in Poland to lay hold of.

Two things, they are not interested in what the government is offering or they don't want to get vaccinated at all, that's a very low turnout for a rich country that can afford to buy vaccines and even offer prizes just for its people to get vaccinated, besides giving prizes they should do awareness campaign about the virus and the vaccines to get more people interested to get vaccinated.

[Fortify]

Months before we heard a news where to increase the chances of people getting vaccinated they government gave them a chance to win prizes, lotteries and even in some countries you are allowed to travel for free. Yet again the Government of Poland announced quite an unusual prize for people who have gotten pifzer. You are eligible to participate in the lottery plus the prizes are up to 260,000$!!!! Which is a great news. But unfortunately only 35% of the people in Poland are vaccinated yet. Not only that read this :

From 1 July every 500th person to take the dose will receive a cash prize of PLN200, while every 2,000th person will receive PLN500. The Polish Government will be giving away five prizes of PLN50,000 every week for three months, alongside the incentive each month to receive PLN100,000 and a Toyota Corolla for two lucky winners. The final winners will scoop up the PLN1m and a Toyota CH-R each... If you were thinking of moving to Poland, then now’s your chance. And if you need an electric scooter, they’re flogging them too, 720 to be precise.

Now that's a gamble that you gotta try! If you are from Poland then you have to get the shot! I do think this is an interesting gamble for the people there what do you think ? ?

It makes much more sense to have many smaller and regular prizes that people can enjoy rather than huge prizes that very few people will enjoy - also helps prolong the offer. I especially like the PLN500 every 2,000 jabs although hopefully they have a system in place to make sure it is determined fairly, as it seems it could be vulnerable to a little bit of abuse by an insider. It's surprising to see the vaccination rate is still relatively low, but then supply has been a bit random and the EU negotiating method for vaccines was very slow, then they decided to threaten some vaccine suppliers to cover their own incompetency. The EU institutions and individual governments handled the program very poorly, especially when they caused hesitation by changing their minds multiple times against the advice of the medical regulator in order to score political points.

it is clear that this is one of Pfizer's marketing tricks that are working with the government to attract more citizens who need to be vaccinated

my country's government makes different rules so that its citizens are willing to be vaccinated, they limit the movement of people who have not been vaccinated, such as not being able to buy plane tickets, buses, or ships

this makes me a little annoyed because actually being vaccinated or not is a human right, every citizen has the right to choose

Well if every citizen has the right to choose, then the government, as the leading organization responsible for managing the safety of public places, should also be allowed to uphold laws that limit the movement of those people who weren't vaccinated right? Idk why, it's just simple common sense tbh. It's not like the Coronavirus is a myth, being vaccinated to combat it seems like the natural course imo. Ofc, granted that supply is not really enough for the demand, there would naturally be some that wouldn't be vaccinated, but any problems that can be solved with time doesn't really seem to be a problem imo.

[mindrust]

They are doing everything they can do to get them people vaccinated, don't they?  

Somebody is trying really hard to get everybody vaxxed which is pretty suspicious.

If you were going to stabbed already, sure go for it and take advantage of the lottery. If you are getting vaccinated only to participate in the lottery then you are a fool.

It is like tricking a kid with a candy. They probably know that most people are just pretending to be adults but in reality, they are just dumb kids.

[bryant.coleman]

The US state of Ohio recently had such a lottery, for those underwent vaccination. And following this, many of the other states came up with their own version of the vaccination lottery. But the case with Poland is different. Not enough vaccine doses are not available in that country. So I don't really understand the point in coming up with a lottery. It may work, if enough doses are available and people are not ready to get themselves vaccinated (similar to the case in Russia). But what is the point they are trying to make, when the supplies are not available?

[Fundamentals Of]

I just want to clarify something about the subject of the thread. Does it mean that the lottery will only be given to those who got themselves inoculated with the vaccine coming from Pfizer? What about those people who got inoculated with vaccines coming from other pharmaceutical companies such as AstraZeneca, Moderna, and others?

This has become a sort of a reward mechanism in many areas of the world just to make sure people would forget their fears about the vaccines.

[aysg76]

Many states are coming up with this sort of plans to encourage people to get vaccinated so as to boost their immunity and less cases are reported for covid in the country which is somehow positive and negative also according to me because people should take themselves take initiative to take the vaccine and other is government is giving some sort of Rewards to citizens.In many countries this is happening like offering free beer,million dollars lottery,passes and many others.Poland on the other hand have only 37 million population and birth rate is slow compared to death rate and expected population in 2050 will only be 32 million so government is also worried and want healthy residents to boost economy also.So it is sort of encouragement only and 100 out of 1 will win but 100 will be vaccinated so this is politics at big level.

[pawanjain]

That's the second time I am hearing a country is providing something for getting vaccinated. It's a good attempt from the government to get their citizens vaccinated.
The first time I head of something like this was when US citizens were getting a free beer for getting vaccinated.
I think this is a win win strategy both for the government and the citizens.

[swogerino]

I haven't done the vaccine only because I worked in an environment from August 2020 until December 2020 where all of my colleagues were infected with Covid 19.They stopped coming to work but they were there before they knew they were infected so I was all the time with them and I didn't get Covid at all.This boosted my thinking that I can be somewhat immune to this so until now,no vaccination whatsoever for me.I believe in Pfizer as my parents have done it,being old in age and having not problems or side effects from this vaccine.

Poland and all countries with such strategy are doing great so far.

This is without a doubt interesting, there is a group of people in every single country that is not going to want to take the vaccine and since it is their right then there is nothing to do, but there are other people that may like to get the vaccine and they do not have the necessary motivation and this could be exactly what we need, some may not like this as they may think governments are deceiving people but to me any measure that helps to increase the number of people being vaccinated is a good measure as long as we are not forcing people to take the vaccine.

[Vaskiy]

Different initiatives have been taken by different governments around the world to make people vaccinated. Pfizer is tested to be more effective than other vaccines, so people can get vaccinated without any big fear. Already few States of US have done such promotion providing million dollar prize.

[Hamphser]

But unfortunately only 35% of the people in Poland are vaccinated yet.

So i wont be surprised that citizens would really have doubts and also lottery odds isnt really appealing most of the time and isnt worth the risk.
